Didn't some of the first H-D F-150s get the old Lighting SVT supercharged engine too? I seem to remember this from somewhere a few years back.

@Deartháir:

Oh say it ain't so! Not you Deartháir. Next you're going to tell us you roll in a yellow H2 with 22's and under-neon. Or worse yet, an Automatic 1978 Corvette with Deartháir airbrushed on the door.

The best news I've recieved all winter is that Clares had to move their Harley showroom out of Fenwick and into St. Catharines.

I'm a biker, and I still want to go Indiana Jones on all the Harley riders who feel their extra loud pipes and scull-printed balaclavas aren't QUITE enough notice of their advancing age and declining virility, and instead must ride Wide Bloody Open through my neighbourhood on their way to Clares.

@Feds: No, you're safe, my bike is an '81 Honda CB750 Custom in showroom condition. I'm probably replacing it this year with a new Yamaha. I wouldn't buy a Harley, they're just too expensive. But... I gotta say, I do want the H-D F150.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for yet. I've never really followed motorcycles, and now that I'm looking for a new one, I don't really know what I want.

Mostly, I just want bigger with a more comfortable riding position.

It's just that I happen to see the big Harley entourage that goes through Milwaukee every summer, and 85% of them are white collar dough boys playing tough guy for the weekend. I guess that is who can afford a new Harley in the 21st century...

Is it still incredibly "untreated"? It makes it awesome when new, but 10K miles worth of ingress/egress with any kind of metal on your jeans has it all scuffed up like a la-z-boy floor model.

So basically what you're saying is that all that gibberish in the original article that there were no performance upgrades was a bunch of hooey? So this doesn't need to be my guilty pleasure after all, I can freely lust after the H-D F150 and be fully justified in it?

They didn't notice the big "6.2L BOSS" written in big letters right on top?

This should give this truck a fair amount of grunt. Now, they need to put this in a new Marauder and a Boss Mustang variant.

Where did I put that phone number for Mark Fields? Ah hell, I'll just Twitter Scott Monty. He'll take care of it.

There's less chance of getting one of these monsters in the U.K. than Hardigree sending a COTD in the same direction. I dunno,ya polish ya shoes,comb ya hair,even floss ya teeth. Yet,still he plays it mean with the COTD's, he's thinking fuck you Europe,you don't share your Fords so we'll keep ours & there'll be no COTD's for you fuckers sat in the rain either.

Since she keeps his wedding vegetables in a jar on her shelf, she's the one you wanna get in good with if you want a COTD.

@pauljones: I wrote that off quite some time ago. Let's see, what do I do here; I insult Ray at every opportunity; I take shots at Diddles; I comment on Wes' ass (it is nice though); I try and come up with a nickname for Hardigree; and I ask to see Murilee in a bustier and fishnets. Wojzilla and Gaines are the only ones I haven't pissed off yet, and that's just because I haven't gotten around to it yet. (Although pissing off Gaines will probably be a challenge, I think he has the same sense of humour as me...)

To hell with COTD, I'm amazed they haven't sent me threatening letters.

Everybody takes shots at Diddles, and Wes's ass, well, that's just irresistable commentary material right there. We all want to see Ms. Martin in something sexy. Making fun of Hardigree is like shooting fish in a barrel; it's oh so easy, but oh so fun. Try as I might, I just can't make fun of Ben. There is just nothing to make fun of him about. I usually kiss Ray's ass at will, and as for Pete, well, let's just say that I think that Pete would just win, hands down.

@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Personally, I think they need to give me the ability to hand out stars. With Uncle Pete preoccupied with Deadspin or Deadwood or Deadhead or something, the lion tamer is away from the zoo. That means nobody's watching to see who should be getting one.

Except me, of course, so I am the natural choice.

Also, I think I deserve a spot on the masthead.

The heart things are underneath the username on every comment, between the time stamp and the user's avatar. Clicking on one of those for a certain member indicates that you like what they have to say, and feel that their comments are worth reading when they come up. Each heart click = 1 follower.

If you check your profile, you will find that you have 47 people who have heart-clicked you. If you like what someone else has to say, then heart click them.

I really don't think that there is any such magic number that automatically earns a star. The common number that is thrown around is 50 followers, but I had 93 before I got mine, so I think that RLJ is right in the sense that the awarding of a gold star is a subjective judgment on the part of the higher-ups based on your contributions to the site.
